Levi's ARG

The new Wieden+Kennedy campaign for Levi's is a scavenger hunt based on fictitious Levi Strauss contemporary Grayson Ozias IV. The grand prize is $100,000, but as with all of these games, I sure wish the amount of time and brainpower needed to win the prize was put toward something a little more valuable. You can read a summary of the campaign here, and visit the official site here.

Clever Neosporin ad (link roundup)

And a few more links:

1. Good definition for ARGs:

Many games are escapist. ARGs are the anti-escapist. They are the "I'm here, let's make it better, dammit."
